3. Don't touch the blade point of the cutter. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
4. Don't touch the blade point of the perforating blade. There is a danger of
receiving an injury.
5. Turn off the power supply beforehand when setting the feed table.
There is a danger of receiving an injury.
6. Turn off the power supply beforehand when setting the stacker. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
7. Turn off the power supply beforehand when setting the waste bin. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
8. Turn off the power supply beforehand when removing paper scraps. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
9. Avoid the combined use of the creaser and the perforator, as it may cause a
paper jam or a mechanical failure.
10. For the perforator, papers of weight 65 lbs (Cover stock) [176 g/] or less is to be used. Using heavier paper may cause a paper jam or mechanical failure.
11. Do not exceed the MAX level when stacking the paper. Exceeding it may cause a mechanical failure.
12. Turn off the power supply beforehand when starting maintenance or inspection. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
13. When you install a machine, please install to a place with no dust, and the place which is not influenced with a liquid. It becomes the cause of failure if the installation method is mistaken.
14. When you put a machine into operation, please change into the state where all covers were closed. If it works where a cover is opened, there is fear of an injury.

(6) Paper slant adjustment
When the printing is tilted, turn the dial as shown in the drawing below to make it straight.
Turning the dial counter-clockwise will tilt the paper to the right, whereas turning it
clockwise will tilt the paper to the left.
(7) Crease depth adjustment
The sign shown in the drawing below will be displayed when using the creaser. Turn the dial shown in the drawing below to adjust the crease depth. The depth will become the most shallow by choosing Level 1 and the deepest by
choosing Level 5.
When selecting Levels 4 and 5, be careful of the paper thickness. Placing the crease too
deep may cause a paper jam or a mechanical failure when the paper is thick.

(8) How to attach the perforator
Power it off. The perforator is stowed below the feed table.
Detach the gear cover located at the paper exit and attach the perforator.
The gear cover can be attached where the perforator was initially placed. The target paper weight for the perforator is 65 lbs (Cover stock) [176 g/]or less. The combined use of the perforator and the creaser on the same paper may cause a paper
jam or a mechanical failure.
Caution Be sure to install Gear cover or Perforator unit !
For safety reason, machine doesn't work with cover open, or if these parts are not in place.
Gear cover
